Andrew Woitaszewski thanked Sheriff Conrad for catching some criminals. Andrew stated that is has been 4 years since he started this project. Then COVID came and slowed the process down and some issue with the cranes. They have now finished the review on the construction permit and it has been submitted for comments and he hopes that will be finished in 30 days. Since then they have been doing a lot of work. They have moved dirt and trees, built an office, built the waterways and the lagoon and planted grass. They cannot install any of the concrete until they have the construction permit. He hopes that they will be up and running late this fall. He is requesting another temporary test plot permit to do some work and when the final permit is issued they will be ready to go. They have hauled 7,000 truckloads to the landfill with no spills or accidents. Hey have also partnered with local businesses like Fonner Park. With the temporary permit they will be learning and will be able to move forward. Ron stated he has driven by and it is amazing the amount of work that he has done the hill is lower. Andrew said they built the dam and the lagoon and moved a lot of dirt. Quandt noted they said they were going to 3,000 loads a year and Andrew said they will need 3,500 because they will need more wood chips. Andrew said they will start with Fonner Park and the JBS material. John Amick 410 Amick Avenue, Doniphan requested to address the board on a road issue and expressed concern there was a failure to communicate about moving gates at the end of Buffalo Road. The county maintainer can ask for the key to the gate in order to be able to turn around. There is also an issue with the school bus because there is a sex offender in the area and they do not want to let the children out there. The road department moved the gate at 50 yards to the north. This is John's property and he was not consulted. He tried to call the Road Department on Friday and they are closed. He then talked to Steve Riehle and ask if there was a solution to not move the gates. He suggested putting in 2 culverts and haul in dirt. This will create a problem for him with liter and people being out there. He said the ditch is steep and when turning around they may not be able to see the ditch because of the weeds. He also expressed concern on the fact that there is an active eagle's nest and there may be federal regulations. He would like to have the Doniphan School board and the county work together to put in culverts and move the gate back. 2
